Tanghalang Pilipino caps its 31st Theater Season (2017-2018) billed as “Freedom Writers: Freedom Fighters,” with Nang Dalawin ng Pag-ibig si Juan Tamad; a play that is based on National Artist Nick Joaquin’s story described by literary critics as the correct explanation why Mariang Makiling forever nurses a broken heart and why Juan Tamad remains a pop idol; a model for the young.

Included in Joaquin’s Pop Stories for Groovy Kids (1979), the play is a mash-up of popular folk tales, and follows the love triangle among the Filipino legends Mariang Makiling, Juan Tamad, Monte (Mt. Banahaw). Adapted for the stage by Rody Vera and directed by Jonathan Tadioan, the play is teeming with complex characters, with no one being purely a hero or a villain.
